Have you enabled root access in the dev settings?

just because you have s=off, and flashed a custom ROM doesn't mean you are automaticallyrooted. Download VISIONary.apk and install. Open click "temp root", then permaroot. And you are good to go.
i have already done temp and perm root with visionary previous to flashing custom roms. do i need to do this after rebooting the phone each time?

nope. S=off means the security protocol is not checking for SU access. However you do need to do it after you turn S=off so it will stick.
ok. ran it again and it is working. thank you so much!!

I'm not sure what went wrong with yours, but IMO by far the simplest and easiest root method for our devices is the one in this thread. Just flash from recovery (stock recovery is fine). That should take care of it.

As far as I'm aware on 4.4.4 the only way to get root is by flashing via custom recovery, this may sound like a hard task but it is actually very easy.
First your bootloader is unlocked so step 1 is already done.
Now just follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395 as it will tell you how to get a custom recovery and root.
Also if you dont want root then everything is done, your device has no root and the SuperSU app can be uninstalled via the system app manager, your bootloader status is not your root status
Hope I could help and good luck with your Nexus 7 (2012)

Uninstalling SuperSU in system DOES NOT remove root, it just takes away the app to restrict/grant access to root

Perform a complete factory reset by reverting it to stock android, e.g. get the standard factory files/ROMs and flash them to the device

SuperUser denied

So I flashed CM 11 and I am really enjoying this ROM. When initially setting up I mistakenly let Google restore my apps. I was not aware that SU was already built into CM 11, so I ended with SuperSU and SU installed at the same time. A few of my rooted apps were allowed root access, but now every time a new app ask for SU permission it is denied.I have deleted SuperSu and rootchecker says I have root.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
Reflash SuperSU from custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply. This worked. Is their a problem using SuperSu while SU is running as a system app...should I try to delete SU?

Not that I know of. I've been using SuperSu all the time. I prefer it because:
I paid for it, so I want to get my money's worth!
Chainfire seems to always be on top of the latest fixes, including how Lollipop may have to require custom kernels, which means unlocked bootloaders. Uh oh.

Rooting failed but not really

Hi
I'm really new at this so please bear with me if I'm asking dumb questions.
A couple of weeks ago I tried to root my device Galaxy S6 SM-G920F EGY. I ended up breaking my phone but then I fixed it by installing a stock rom that I found online.
Since then every Root Checker app that I've downloaded says that my device is unrooted. however, when I go to use secret browsing mode on the Samsung browser it says rooting detected.
Also I'm pretty sure that my device had 32 GB storage. Now it says I have 16GB of storage.
Please enlighten me on what the hell I did and how to fix it.
Do you have (SuperSu, Magisk or King root) installed into your phone application menu?

No I don't have either installed. For all intents and purposes my phone is unrooted. That's why I'm so confused when the Samsung browser says "root detected... cannot launch secret browsing "
I'm trying to attach a screenshot but I keep getting a "bad request" error on here

If you have the acess to TWRP or other recovery try to install this zip!
It's SuperSu zip installation.
